Don't mind spending a few bucks for a good quality bulb.
This is confusing. You do realize that those "LED headlights" do not actually have LED main bulbs, right? I believe they come with halogen bulbs and you can convert them to HID.
So, the real question is "which bulbs do you intend to use with them and what are you trying to match?"

Since a lot of people have the LED headlights installed, I am sure there will be good recommendations. Thanks in advance.
I think you've been misinformed. I've been a member here and other Porsche forums for years and I know of all of three or four people that have bought these.

Apologies if it has been discussed, I promise I tried searching but found nothing specific to this.

Cheers!

Thanks for your replies everyone!!

@particlewave - Yup, I know they are halogen bulbs - Sorry if my post was not very clear, my fault. I probably should not have referred to them as LED headlights, I saw a few posts where they were discussed:

LED headlights...Do you guys like it?

Our standard headlamps take H7 bulbs but the these Taiwanese manufactured LED headlamps it seems require H1 style halogen bulbs for the included sockets. Since H1 style bulbs come in various temperatures and there are probably many brands that make them (Sylvania, CIPA, Philips perhaps), I was merely trying to inquire what brands and temperatures other people are using in theirs.

But it seems like I must have severely over-estimated the number of people that bought these, my apologies again.

Btw, I found one post with an answer to my question while searching around after I asked -

If anyone else has them installed and knows of a good brand/temperature to buy, please let me know. Thanks. Happy Friday!!
